For Caesarstone countertops, an alternative color to Blizzard or bright white is Nougat or any of the shaded white (speckled) colors. It looks pretty much like white from a distance but hides dirt and complements white walls and metal fixtures/appliances/door handles well. We think it looks good in both kitchens and bathrooms!


Kitchen Renovations: Best Decisions & Biggest Regrets
5/19/11 3:07 PM

Best/smartest decisions:
- Finding a high end showroom sale kitchen on Craigslist(!) which included not only the cabinets and some appliances but also design consultations
- Hiring a trustworthy, quality general contractor
- Careful consideration of the "work triangle" and needs for prep, cook, serve areas - we replaced the eat-in kitchen in favor of more storage
- Replacing/raising our low/florescent lit ceiling
- Installing gas line for our stove and a strong but quiet range hood
- Counter-depth refrigerator
- Deep kitchen sink
- Same countertop and floor tiles in kitchen and bathrooms - unified look for adjacent rooms
- Finding discounted appliances - Sears outlet scratch & dent

Regrets due to structural and HOA restrictions:
- Not demolishing the wall with a service window between the kitchen and dining room
- Not installing a skylight

We traveled cross-country when my daughter was the same age! On top of the other comments already given, we found that we needed a boarding pass for our baby. You can ask for it at the ticket/check-in counter before going through security. For us, there was a separate security line for families, but no early boarding call for the plane. We also used the stroller in the airport then gate-checked it; the baby carrier was very useful for getting the baby on and off the plane. Good luck and safe travels!

Your daughter is very lucky to have such a beautiful bedroom! The colors, mural, furniture, and details are really wonderful.

One of my favorite places outside NYC. I love visiting Blue Hill Stone Barns...the farm, the grounds, the cafe, and the restaurant! It is also wonderful to see with the fall foliage.

Yes, our baby sat happily in the Stokke Tripp Trapp highchair at The Modern restaurant in the MoMA...now we're looking to buy one.

We stayed in a similar cave hotel in Cappadocia for our honeymoon, and it was an incredible, unique experience! Oh, and the bathrooms are modern inside.

We were indeed *lucky* to collaborate with Hello!Lucky on our custom invitations several years ago. Sabrina and Eunice are really wonderful to work with, and I'm so glad to see their efforts to be a green business!

As a Heath Ceramics fan and collector, I wholeheartedly agree! Visiting their Sausalito factory/store is a local treasure, especially during their Open Studio weekends. Can't wait to visit this marketplace!
